About Tau

Where Samoans began and Polynesia grew—as legend is foretold, the island of Ta’u is where the ancient ruler Tu’i Manu'a resided to oversee the population of Polynesians onwards to the Marquises, Rorotonga, Tahiti and eventually Hawaii. Visit the ancient village of Tau where the last Tu'i Manu'a resided before seceding these Manu’a islands to the United States in 1904. Islands to see: Tau
